COMMENT

Brooklyn Beckham has joined Snapchat, and now we actually know what he does all day, and it isn’t much.

Brooklyn, 24, is the son of Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham and soccer player David Beckham.

He is also a ‘nepo baby’, the nickname given to the kids of famous people. Nepotism is when you benefit unfairly from being related to someone else.

Well, now, thanks to Snapchat, we get to know what the eldest Beckham offspring gets up to all day and how he hustles to afford his lavish lifestyle.

Hint, there’s less hustling more playful emojis and filters.

Firstly, he kicked off his account by letting everyone know why he is famous and posting photos with his financial backers, I mean parents, heiress wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham and younger sister Harper.

The caption: “Lovely family night.”

They were all in designer outfits and it was very clear they weren’t heading off to the local bowling club.

He then took some time to share that he had gone and done the Wasabi Challenge, where you eat an entire ball of Wasabi and then chase it with Coke.

He went really red in the face from the heat.

“As you guys can tell, I struggled a bit,” he joked.

Very unclear, if he did any work that day or doing the wasabi challenge was his work for the day.

At some point, he decided to be playful on Snapchat and took a selfie using the baby filter while in the car and even got very cheeky and added some devil horns.

You can’t say this man isn’t busy.

Like a good husband, he also shared snaps of his wife posing with a peace sign while travelling with friends.

Because what heiress doesn’t want world peace?

Brooklyn’s Snapchat just confirms he isn’t just a nepo baby benefiting from his parent’s fame and fortune.

He is his own man armed with filters and plenty of free time.

Jokes aside, Brooklyn’s struggled in the limelight, not financially, don’t be crazy, his parents are loaded.

But his various attempts at making a name for himself have often gone awry.

Unlike other nepotism offspring that turn to acting or singing or even just decide to clumsily walk down a catwalk and call themselves models, Brooklyn has decided to make a name for himself by doing what other people consider hobbies or just daily activities and calling it a career.

There was the time he decided he was a chef and got roasted for making a bacon and egg sandwich on America’s version of the Today Show.

Yes, he went on the show to show people how to make a bacon and egg sandwich, like we all don’t already know that.

“When the bacon is cooked, I put it on a paper towel so it’s not oily,” he proudly explained on the morning show.

He was sharing the advice your mother gave you when you tried to make her breakfast in bed for the first time and you were 11.

Sadly, that wasn’t the only time Brooklyn’s attempts at being his own man have been mocked. There was the time he called himself an “absolute nutter in the kitchen,” and then made a stock standard gin and tonic – please YouTube it.

Brooklyn doesn’t seem to understand what being a “nutter” is.

Kind of like when you date a guy that describes himself as artsy but what he really means is he has a Banksy print on his wall and by print I mean poster.

Plus, let us never forget that time Brooklyn launched a photography book that included a photo of an elephant that was so poorly shot you could barely see the elephant and added the caption: “So hard to photograph but incredible to see!”

I mean, that is passable from your aunty when she returns to Europe and insists on showing you every photo she accidentally took of her feet, but not from someone that is claiming to be a photographer.

Also, as an aside, he recently went viral for getting a really unflattering tattoo of his wife. The inked tribute is a portrait of Nicola’s face, and the proportions are, um, creative.

You wouldn’t say it the most flattering depiction of Nicola’s face. The chin in the tattoo – is pretty much an insult to Nicola’s actual jawline – it is giving Johnny Bravo.

Anyway, that doesn’t have much to do with Brooklyn’s daily routine but the man has more than 20 tattoos in Nicola’s honour, so clearly he has lots of free time.

There was also the incident – and I’m referring to it as the incident because it revealed a terrifying truth about Brooklyn – where he was stopped by TikToker Daniel Mac.

Brooklyn was driving a $1.2 million dollar red McLaren P1 sports car and when Mac asked what he did to afford such a luxury vehicle. Without missing a beat, Brooklyn said: “Um, a chef.”

Only a nepo baby could be unsure what they do for a living while driving a million-dollar car.
